OIL-PUMP AND MEASURING-TANK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 4'16,'735,dated December 10, 1889.

Application filed March 30, 1889. Serial No. 35,432. (No model.)

To all whom t may oon/cern.:

Be it known thatl, HECTOR F. MCKENZIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohesaning, county of Saginaw, State ofMichigan, have invented a new and useful Oil- Pump and Measuring-Tank, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of oil tanks or cans which are provided with a pump and a measuring device.

The object of theinvention consists in certain improvements, substantially as below described and claimed.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation, with broken sectional parts, on line 3 3 in Fig. 2; Fig. 2, a section online 2 2 in Fig. 1, looking from a point above; Fig. 3, enlarged lettered details in Fig. 1; Fig. 4, section on line 5 5 in Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of parts on line 4 4 in Fig. 2. y

Referring to the lettered parts of the drawings, T is the tank for containing the oil. The tank has adish-shaped cover C;l Projecting u pward from this cover is a wall H, A

upon which ismounted the ordinary measuring device m, havingthe measuring scale-tube e and a faucet o, from which to draw off the oil from the measure m.

At P is the pump, and the ',diiferene in the construction of the pump and measure in p their relation to eachother over the constructions heretofore made is that the top of the pump-tube hoods over and joins the top inclosure of the measure, as at win Fig.`1, so that the interior o f the pump-tube communicates directly with "the interior of the measure, thus making a more compactand simple construction.

The rack y and lever with segmental gear .e are similar to those heretofore employed for operating the pump; so these or other suitable means may be employed.

At O is a tube leading from near the top of the interior of the measure down through the dish-shaped cover AO of the tank T to cause the overflow, after the measure gets full enough of oil, to run down into the tank again.

At S is a tube in the tank against thepump P and parallel therewith from the lower end up through the cover G, Where it elbows lat. erally and surrounds the tube O. Thus the tube O forms a guide when sliding the tube S up and down to cause its hole 7l in the side at the lower end to register with the hole J in the lower end of the pump P or not to register, as desired. In Fig. 1 the tube S is raised so that the holes do not register, and in Fig. 3 these holes do register with each other. When, as in Fig. 1, the oil is pumped from 6o the tank up into the measure m, by lowering the tube S so that the `holes t' J register, as in Fig. 3, the oil can be pumped from a barrel through hose h, tube S, and pump P into the measure m. If desired, the pumping Y can be continued and till the tank T from the overflow of the measure down through tube O; but the tank m-ay be filled from the barrel after the measure is full, or before, if desired, by opening the cock X, which leads 7o from the pump P, above the cover C, down through said cover. y

The cover C is provided with a seriesof holes to allow the waste oil to drip into the tank.

Beneath the faucet o in the cover `C is afunnel-screen F, having a ribbed top and `detaohably set in a hole through the cover C, Figs. 2 and 5, to allowr the drip from the faucet o to run into the tank T.

It should have been stated that the lower 8o l end of the sliding tube S has a band 2 attached to it and wrapped around the pump P, so as to hold the tube close against the pump, said band being adapted to. move up and downwhen the tube S is raised and low` ered, Figs. 1 and 3.

The bottom of the tank T is funnel-shaped to concentrate the oil at the center of the bottom of the tank beneath the lower end of the pump, Fig. 1. 9o

The flange or ring D below the funnelshaped bottom B has a series of holes n. y At 3 is a smaller flange or ring, and these two rings support the tank.`

The ring 3 has a series of holes like the 95 holes n in ring D, and these holes are to ventilate the space beneath the bottom B of the tank.

The cover C is held onto the tank T by D shaped clamps f,made of elasticmetahwhich 1oo can be sprung over the ribs et the top of the tank endl, the dish -shaped cover C, as in Figs. 1 and 2.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

l. An oil-tank having u' funnel-slumped bottom and supporting flanges or rigs beneath the bottom of the tank to support the same, said rings being` provided with airholes leading into the space beneath the bottom of the tank, substantially as set forth.

2. The Combination of the tank, a. pump therein, a measure supported by the tank,

' with which tank the pump communicates at with and a hole in the side of the lower end zo adapted to communicate with a hole in the side of the lower end of the pump, substantinlly as setforth.

In testimony of the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my naine in presence of two z 5 witnesses.

HECTOR F. MCKENZIE.
